Having A Life After High Intensity Training Workouts

What mirrors reflect is the truth.  What you see is a form that can only be a result of years of hard work in the gym and the diet at home. Yet, your life have zeroed in on gym, work and really nothing else.You want to keep the form but you need to live your life too. How can both be pursued without sacrificing one?  Easily and that is by  High Intensity Training workouts.

“Less is more” and that tenet guided Mike Mentzer in living out his kind of  High Intensity Training workouts.  It is a system of  routine workout strategies in which muscles must reach failure point through repetitions.  The basic characteristics are: brief, sporadic, powerful yet slow. The  High Intensity Training workouts do not take so much time so gives one enough time for other things.

There are 7 simple high intensity workouts that can be easily squeezed in one’s daily schedule according to Dennis B. Weis. Bodybuilding is just one preoccupation for Weis, he is also a freelance psychology, writer and an investigative research consultant about power lifting, bodybuilding, nutrition and  physiology.  One can keep the form earned through hard work by sustaining it with any of the following high intensity workouts.

Behemoth Muscle Bulk and Power –begin with supine barbell bench press, followed by the barbell back off squats, and the barbell bent over rows, and end this routine with  45° leg presses using a machine.  It is recommended to do five to six reps with the least rest possible.

Rotating Sets and Reps Workout – two specific routines are done twice a week, either barbell upright rows or barbell back squats for 12 reps twice a week. For another two alternating days, supine barbell bench press or barbell bent over rows are done for 12 reps as well.

Non-Stop H.U.G.E Workout – clean and press over head done 6-8 reps are used for warming up, then another 4-6 reps. An additional 5 pounds is added to the barbell with each set, until muscular failure sets in and can’t perform another repetition anymore.

Dennis Weis recommended  7 High Intensity Training  workouts so there are others you can try if needs must arise to give room to other equally important aspects of your like family, friends and fun. There is life apart from the gym, live and enjoy it.
